My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Best Match:

  • May be a good match for families and/or first time adopters
  • May be okay with cat-friendly dogs
  • Needs to be indoor only
  • Part of a bonded pair with Halibut
  • Currently on a special diet to stay happy and healthy

Meet fabulous brothers, Halibut, and Marlin: a beautiful white cat and an adorable orange boy that are both polydactyl! These playful, affectionate siblings brighten and enliven any home they enter.

With his almost cartoonishly-cute face, Halibut's very presence has been known to brighten the day of everyone around him. Like his brother, Halibut loves flopping on his back for some belly rubs. He also enjoys playing fetch, and play-fighting with his brothers. Halibut is a dedicated snuggler, either with humans or with cats.

Small but mighty, Marlin is an expressive fella. He will patiently and at length explain, through his chirps and squeaks, that his next meal or snack has yet to be delivered, although he is aware his people are doing their best and doesn't judge. He and Halibut both enjoy eating a special diet to keep them healthy and happy. Being polydactyl, he loves using those extra toes in his frequent bouts with the rainbow fleece wand or his favorite mouse toy. He’s less likely to snuggle with his brother, often preferring to perch on the shoulders of his human company.

Halibut and Marlin are an adorable duo that, between the two of them, comprise pretty much everything you'd want in a cat. Together, they form their own little cool cat club, and they welcome people who'd like to join them — the more, the merrier! 

Halibut and Marlin are neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  If you are interested in setting up a meeting or have more questions, please complete our Adoption Inquiry form: form.jotform.com/cattownoak/adoption-inquiries
